Roof Moss is problematic to residential and commercial properties throughout Essex. Excessive roof moss causes gutter blockages, responsible for causing damp inside buildings and long term water damage to your property. Roof Moss will cause concrete or clay tiles along with natural roofing slates to crack; when wet moss freezes and expands, damaging roof tiles.
The NFRC (The National Federation of Roofing Contractors) states, Roof moss “needs to be removed if it is blocking gutters, outlets and other drainage points”
Roof moss removal and cleaning is the solution to your roof moss problems!
Our roof cleaning process removes roof moss from roofing and guttering, protecting your property for years to come.
We guarantee your complete satisfaction with our roof cleaning and roof moss removal services in East Tilbury!
Roof Moss Removal & Biocide Treatment Application
The Manual moss removal method is our first choice for cleaning residential or commercial tiled rooftops.
Manual moss removal and biocide treatment works effectively on various roof types, excluding metal commercial rooftops and man-made slate roofs. After moss is manually scraped off the roof tiles, a biocide is applied. The biocide eliminates moss spores, lichen, algae, and biofilm within 48 hours, initiating a cleaning process that continues over the next 6-12 months.
This treatment includes a 3-year moss-free guarantee for all customers in East Tilbury, ensuring long-term protection from regrowth.

Roof Cleaning - Before and After
What is the cost of roof cleaning in East Tilbury?
The cost of roof cleaning in East Tilbury depends on several factors:
- Cleaning method: Steam cleaning is typically more expensive than manual scraping combined with a biocide treatment due to the advanced technology and immediate results it offers.
- Access options: The cost of cleaning a roof using a cherry picker is more expensive than cleaning from a mobile access tower or ladders.
- Roof Tile Type: Older clay tiles are the most expensive to clean because they are the most time consuming roof tile to scrape. Modern clay, concrete tiles and traditional slates are all cheaper to clean than old fragile clay roofs.
- Roof Size: Larger roofs take longer to clean and cost more to clean than smaller roofs.
| Property Type | Price |
| Teraced Property | From £695.00 |
| Semi-Detached | From £900.00 |
| Detached | From £995.00 |
| Luxury Detached | From £2495.00 |

Frequently Asked Questions
-
When is the best time to have my roof cleaned?
There is no specific "best" time of year for roof cleaning. While winter appointments may occasionally be rescheduled due to extreme weather like ice, snow, or high winds, we provide reliable service year-round, working in all other conditions.
-
Are you licensed waste carriers?
Yes, we are licensed by the Environment Agency. Our waste carrier license allows us to legally transport roofing waste to an approved disposal facility.
-
Do you offer soft washing for roofs?
No, we do not use soft washing, which involves Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach). Instead, we use Biocide, a safer alternative. Biocide is less toxic, produces no harmful fumes, and is gentler on your roof compared to bleach.
-
Does Biocide treatment remove lichen?
Yes, Biocide effectively kills lichen and other organisms on contact. Lichen on porous roofing materials is gradually removed through natural weathering. Some species of lichen may require two applications of Biocide, spaced 3 years apart, for complete removal.
-
How long does Biocide treatment last?
Biocide treatment continues to prevent moss growth for 3 to 5 years after application.
-
Do you offer roof repairs?
No, we specialize exclusively in roof cleaning to maintain the highest standards of service. For roof repairs, we recommend finding a local contractor through TrustaTrader or Checkatrade
